Olindo Mare to Panthers for a 4 Year Deal

[dksmith17]

we had to move on at some point.

I can agree with this... but 12 mill 4 years? 4 gaur? 38 years old?

Wasn't Mare cut by 3 teams his previous 3 years?

The bright side is no one can sign officially until Friday, maybe Panthers will come to their sense. This is a time fans outrage on social media and other venues might actually be a good thing.

meh...go ahead and keep on whining/ranting about it.

time to move on.

My thoughts exactly.

This is probably more shocking than any move I have seen In years. I pretty much thought Kasay would play here till he died because Marty wasn't gonna let him go. Sad day. Mare was really good in Seattle though.

Kasay missed a game winning kick last year. People are just crazy.

We've already been over this...

The fact that you can name the times Kasay has messed something up is what is so incredible about his career...

Kasay missed a game winning kick last year. People are just crazy.

Don't confuse this with facts.

Ok, I was cool with all the other signings, but that could've been 3 mil a year towards Joseph. Sign a kicker out of college, the AFL, or CFL, and hope he pans out like everyone else does... We just put 3 mil a year on a 38 year old kicker.

3 mil a year on a guy who is only 3 years younger than an original Panther, who we are now pushing out, most likely in part due to a decrease in kicking power...

My point is, MARE IS 38 fugING YEARS OLD.

[CRA]

how did we regress? again... just as accurate, younger, and can do kickoffs eliminating the need for a KOS (btw...name all the teams smart enough to have one of those).

yep. Kasay has the chance to go out the right way when Fox left.....I mean eventually as classy as Kasay is he is gonna get the boot. You can't have 3 kickers just b/c one is a great guy.

[Chaos]

I remember this one time, we were playing the Eagles at home, and the mighty Kasay missed 5 field goals in that one game. I think it was the year we went to the Super Bowl. This is when I first learned that the bionic kicker was actually human.

[stirs]

with the new kickoff spot, wouldn't even Kasay be able to reach the end zone now?

Rhys would have been cut either way?

[MWCarolina]

First move i question, UNLESS i hear that Kasey is hanging them up. this makes little sense if Kasey is staying.

[MrBubba]

Glad Jerry is opening the wallet he can pay for my dental bills after my jaw hit the floor over this move.

[JakeFlake]

heard on the radio saying that Kasay will be released.

[TylerVagyler]
